Hello !!!

I ran into a similar situation a while ago & here is what I had back then. This is bit yucky but this is what I used & it never failed me so far.

regards,
Anil Kumar.

select left(
substring(substring (Column, charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1, len(Column) - charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1),
charindex(' ',substring (Column, charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1, len(Column) - charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1), 0)+1,
len(substring (Column, charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1, len(Column) - charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1)) -
charindex( ' ', substring (Column, charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1, len(Column) - charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1),0)+1),
charindex(' ', substring(substring (Column, charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1, len(Column) - charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1),
charindex(' ',substring (Column, charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1, len(Column) - charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1), 0)+1,
len(substring (Column, charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1, len(Column) - charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1)) -
charindex( ' ', substring (Column, charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1, len(Column) - charindex(' ', Column, 0)+1),0)+1)))

if format is consistent with always 4 words you can use this

SELECT PARSENAME(REPLACE(column,' ','.'),2) FROM Table
